I am sure it is just my bad luck. Your board will probably be fine!

@KSliger - any chance you'll make vector files available for the SM550's acrylic window for those of us looking to customize? I saw you posted a technical drawing a few pages back, but I'm not familiar with the measurement method being used (seems kinda like ordinate, but not quite - forgive my ignorance). Would really appreciate a vector file (.eps/.ai/etc.), or direction to further information of the measurement method of the drawing.
Appreciate the detail you early adopters are bringing to the thread. Still pondering the best choice for a semi-passive build... I wonder how the Cryorig C7G (upcoming graphene variant) would look and perform without its fan? Hrmm.
Oh, and @KSliger, I know you're probably still hard at work on the 570 and 580... But any updated thoughts on the handle top?
@KSliger Any chance you can do thermal testing with a blower-style GPU, like a Pascal Founder's Edition card? I'm wondering if the intake on the blower will have sufficient clearance to get enough air, and whether the negative pressure created by one would mess with the upward airflow too much.
@KSliger Any news about the 570/580???? I am thinking at these to replace the DA2!

@KSliger yes sir!
So planning my loop here - although still unsure if I'll get SM570 or SM580.
Reckon with the EK MLC Phoenix 240 radiator core + 120mm SE radiator in the bottom with ZMT matte black tubing all round for a clean soft tubed build.
Will probably upgrade GPU to an RTX 2080 down the line too and add it into the loop, but I can't see any reason why a 240mm Phoenix in the top and 1 x 120mm EK SE radiator in the bottom will be an issue with a reference length GPU (270mm).
If I were to use a longer GPU I think the fittings on the rad would interfere, but I'm not sure if mounting a bottom 120mm radiator will interfere with the case feet - which looks like a possibility if trying to use 1 case fan in the bottom next to the radiator.
I'll probably start with a CPU only loop and do more measurements and work out if it's actually necessary to add in another 120mm radiator.
Still undecided if I want 140mm fans and triple slot GPU support...
Will the price difference between the SM570 and 580 be the same $10 between the 550 and 560?
Would .DXF work? I do not have Illustrator or Draw to be able to export as anything else
I hadn't even thought of putting a Radiator in the bottom. If there's 49mm of clearance, you can get a 28mm rad and a 15mm fan in there no problem, 6mm to spare even!In the bottom of the 580 you have a space of 149mm x 152mm x 49mm (W x D x H) to fit a radiator - not sure if this will work out?
Was wondering this also. Expected to see a trk# when I woke up this morning haha.@KSliger Have shipments begun for the 560?
How are your temps on the L9i?

Based on it being basically the 560 with two more fans I am thinking air cooler GPU will be fine.
Not sure yet, might be a $15 or $20 difference on this one.
Damn, I thought there was going to be room for two 240/280mm radiators in the 570/580s. Or am I still a bonehead here?

Thirding for this The fans and heatsinks are sitting on my desk looking so lonely

If you can export as .DXF autocad 2007 compatible it would work. THANKS!
